We switched Mitzi (10 y.o.) to raw food about 5 weeks ago and I really regret that I didn't do it earlier! She always had skin and allergie problems and arthritis for about a year. EVERYTHING IS GONE! Her teeth are clean her breath sweet and she doesn't smell lik 'circus' anymore. Best of all, she LOVES it and it is soooooo easy! I just buy different kinds of ground meat like chicken, turkey, beef and lamb and some chicken or turkey necks and oxtail bones to chew on. I kix all the ground meat together and form little patties (about 2 tablespoons), put them into small plastic bags and deep freeze them. everyday I take one out in the morning and by the time we have lunch it's thawed and she gets it. Mitzi actually LOST weight! As treats I make turkey jerky for her (and us, yummieeeee!) The transition was 'cold turkey' and she had a little soft stool for 3 days and that was it.
